Friday social evening: This was well attended this week, with good number of members participating in a delightful meal, prepared by Lyn Solomon and the social committee. Thanks Lyn for the delightful spicy ribs.

The members draw was no 125, being Jeff Rhue who was ruing not being present to collect the money.

The Taurus Meat Tray provided by our sponsor was won by Vin Hall, the Breakfast Tray by David Atkins, a Hall’s Jewellers voucher by Margaret Flynn and the bottle of wine was won by Alice Hall.

Sunday last the club conducted two club games, the Jack Sloane 2 Bowl Singles for men and the women participated in the Dot Carroll 2 Bowl Singles.

GV Midweek pennant

The Grand Final Division 3 was played last week between Seymour and Shepp RSL at the Kyabram Green. It was not to be for Seymour, which was beaten by a better side on the day. However, this team is to be congratulated for making it to the grand final.

Thanks to the cheer squad who travelled so far to support the team. It was much appreciated by the players.

Division five played in the preliminary final against Stanhope at Euroa last Saturday, to come home as winners in a good game by winning 85 to 57. This team has played well all year and is hoping to bring home the bacon next Saturday.

Division Three Goulburn Valley team used their ‘get out of jail free’ card playing in the preliminary final at Euroa against East Shepparton.

In an exciting finish, the last rink playing for East Shepparton scored three shots on the last two ends to draw the game at 103 shots each, forcing all rinks to play another end each in an effort to obtain a result.

As a consequence, Seymour VRI scored five shots in the extra play off while East Shepparton could only score three shots added to the drawn game, resulting in Seymour VRI winning by two shots and entering the grand final next week for another game against Mooroopna Golf at a venue to be advised.

The champion rink on the day were Phil Challis, Moreno Puppa, Michael Szczykulski and Geoff Neal winning by 26 shots. They were the only winning rink for the team with enough shots up to cover the losses of the other three rinks, but it was close.

Seymour VRI 108 defeated East Shepparton 106.

Geoff Neal’s rink, well in control, scored five shots on the 11th end, six shots on the 13th end and scored four shots on five occasions to dominate the game being 25 shots up at the 18th end and finishing up with a 25 shot win before the play-off.

Greg Jones’ rink played a competitive game up to afternoon tea, being two shots down at the 20th end, then won the last two ends and finished seven shots down before the play off.

Bill Dawe’s rink built up a handy lead and it took the opposition 23 ends to take the lead, but the rink let themselves down by scoring on only two ends after tea and were five shots down prior to the play-off.

Luke Spargo’s rink lost their sparkle on Saturday, trailed their opposition by 10 shots on the 13th end and again at the 20th end, and could not gain any score going down by 13 shots prior to the play-off.

Next Saturday the Division Three Goulburn Valley team will play in the big dance against Mooroopna Golf. The team has defeated Mooroopna Golf on two occasions during the season and expects to bring home the silver ware together with the expected Midweek trophy played for on Tuesday.

We need as many supporters to cheer on the team on Saturday, and whatever the result a grand final night function will be held at the club house when the players return, with snack foods and drinks available to all members.

We are urgently looking for members, partners and friends to enter the AFL Football Tipping Competition starting on Thursday, March 22.

The last hope of finals success was eliminated in the preliminary final last Saturday. The Section 5 side battled hard but were eventually defeated by Hill Top by seven shots with the rink of Bardy McLeod, Ed Dunn, Keith Hollands and John Humphries the winning rink.

It was a good effort by the side in a difficult division with two sections of eight sides playing for the one flag.

A reminder to members that the presentation night is to be held on Saturday, March 24 from 6.30pm, $25 for a two-course meal, names to be registered at the club rooms by March 19 for catering purposes.

Two club finals are to be played in the coming week with finals of the men’s pairs and triples to be decided.
